    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    When you go for your appointment(if you've not already done so that is) I would challenge them about them saying "due to rise in Covid cases" and show them the Gov Covid Dashboard on your phone(or a printout of the page if you don't have a smartphone/iphone) showing clear evidence that Covid...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    This weeks Gov Covid dashboard updated. As of 22nd July - just 5 days ago, Covid cases are now down 35.1% compared to the week before(when they were down 14.4%). Covid cases are continuing to FALL, and the fall in cases is currently accelerating! So the media outlets going on about the RISE...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    Just spotted this on the Daily Mail. Here we bloody go again with more doom mongering and calls for "new" mask rules and other restrictions!!!! Just shut up will you!!! Enough is ENOUGH!!!! We put up with all that "restrictions" nonsense for long enough as it was before, which was HUGELY...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    Mask wearing and social distancing more or less normalised now for most people?? I hardly think so!!! What planet are you living on??!! I'd say at least about 95% of people in the UK now have ditched wearing face masks. And near enough everyone gave up "socially distancing" months and...

    Songs where you go “Aargh” and lurch for the Off button

    Toploader - Dancing in the Moonlight. Whenver the intro to that comes on the radio I immediately reach for the volume switch to turn it right down. Absolutely dreadful irritating song!

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    ITV News claiming last night that "Cases were 7% up on this time last week.". Either they're lieing or they've got those up to date stats from somewhere. But where would they have got those stats from? Either way though, the press and media really needs to STOP this contant obsession with...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    Just seen a preview of the ITV News at 6:30, which mentioned "Covid cases on the rise again. But how concerned should we be?". What the.....??!! Covid cases are NOT on the rise again! They're on the way down for crying out loud! Latest stats say they have fell by 14.4%!! I really don't...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    I see Sky News STILL has the "Covid infections rise 29%....." article on their website. I have just emailed them to request they remove it as soon as possible as it is no longer the case that Covid infections rise 29%. I've also mentioned to them that whenever Covid infections they(and other...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    This week's Coronavirus gov dashboard updated today. Cases are 14.4% DOWN! So all those(including the press and media) banging on about "Covid cases on the rise again"(and similar wording) and calling for "Covid restrictions to be brought back" must now shut up about this. They've lost...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    Something I noticed from that Daily Mail article DuncanP posted above today.... What absolute bloody nonsense!! These polls are hardly representative of the people of the UK! Four in ten people wearing face masks again??!! Really??!!! From my observations over the last month I'd say on...

    Shops & other venues that still insist on masks.

    I've just been at Bristol Temple Meads and Taunton stations, and off went those blinkin "Thank you for wearing a face covering, if you can. As a courtesy to others." PA announcements!!! Don't say GWR are bringing back this nonsense again!!!!

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    I see The Sun, The Mirror and Sky News have jumped on the bandwagon and now got very similar worded(so don't feel it necessary to post quotes from those articles in this instance) articles on their websites. Trust them! It really does seem as they WANT restrictions to return! Wouldn't be...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    I remember some time during the first half of last year, the main BBC News at 10 their headline report was Susan Michie saying we'll still have to keep wearing face masks and "keeping our distance" for SEVERAL YEARS yet!! Unbelievable that just this woman's opinion on what we should be doing...

    Covid restrictions abroad: updates & observations

    I get the feeling that some of these countries are just never going to completely let go of this mandatory mask wearing nonsense. They may well scrap the restrictions/laws for a few months(or however long). But then as soon as cases rise again(even if cases had fallen to a very low level...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    It was last August, just barely a few weeks when the main COVID restrictions, it was Suzanna Reid of GMB for days banging on about rising Covid cases and there could be an October lockdown! When no one in government has even indicated such as event could happen! Another case of her trying to...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    Suzanna Reid on Good Morning Britain just now mentioning "Covid cases on the rise" and "Talk of new restrictions". Don't try and push it Suzanna! Who in government has mentioned there could be new restrictions??!! No one as far as I'm aware! The public won't tolerate it if restrictions came...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    Here in Bristol over about the past 10 days I had noticed a noticeable increase in the number of people wearing masks on buses and in shops. But only a relatively minor increase I'd say, going from roughly only about 2% wearing them up to about 7%. Seems to have stabilsed over the past couple...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    I've seen a number of online news articles today saying basically "Brits urged to wear face masks as Covid-19 hospital admissions expected to rise" Here is one example article from Covid restrictions and lockdowns loving The Mirror...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    Here is just one example of a journalist during the endless Coronavirus Downing Street News Conferences we had for months on end, asking the government to introduce tougher restrictions. This one from 11th January 2021. We still had the hugely damaging mandatory face covering and social...

    "Covid rising in England" - let's stop the fear mongering

    There won't be another lockdown. It's not worth even thinking about. The last lockdown ended March(or was it April) 2021. Well over a year ago now! I think the government has at least moved on from those hugely DAMAGING series of lockdowns we had to endure in 2020 and 2021. There won't be...
